Barrett has the ability to create in the half court, his shooting was lacking but has shown hes a shooter, and playmaker consistently Hunter is literally a 3 n D dream for teams..they have skill sets that will be NBA friendly rather than just dunk and do 0

Love how you cut off the part where I said: "if I wanted a project" -3

So you still wont name the skill set?? -1

Literally has nothing to do with that. 1

This is interesting but is all dependent on his health, he showed when he was healthy that is a absurdly good player..7"2+ knocking down 3s, making plays and rebounding machine 1

I only have Hunter, because he will contribute right away; very good defensive skills, very good shooting, and ability to switch 0

Hes 6"5 without shoes, he also already has had knee issues through high school, and his defense is bad...hes definitely undersized. 1

Defensive metrics are easily skewed and Zion is literally scouted to have poor defense... 1

"All these superstars are not undersized and liabilities when it matters" When? 0

So literally what I stated?? Congratulations. 1

Game Thread has already been posted. -1

For what? -2

May everyone have a blessed Sunday! Have a good day yall 6

How about this one: Whoever scores more points will win the game 2

Basketball brings me so much anxiety and fun at the same time 2

Hamstrings shouldnt be rushed but it is what it is 2

I just like posting cuz I can scroll through my feed at the gym 2

Klay Thompson is gonna be a absolute worry...hamstrings are a serious issue once they are messed with...look at Chris Paul 3

HELL YEAH BROTHER! 4

I feel like 3-1 is good because you can take advantage of home court without worrying about Durant as much as you would in a 7 game series 1

Nah he does it from the doorway, **bathroom sky fucker** 2

They tell us to post the Thread a hour before 2

I am ready.... **puts on fedora and chugs mountain dew** 2

You know this is sarcasm right? 1

For what? Its just some light humor with the big game looming... 0

**issa joke** -1

Every NBA player looks good during practice except AI cuz you cant see him 3

Stay in here 3

Everyone knows hes the best on the Warriors, without him no way they beat Houston last year or Cavs 1

**WE ARE IN THE ENDGAME NOW** 3

Summer League, Drew League, and Pre season got us brother 1

Who the fook are you 1

same 1

Bruh its fake 11

If he loses, that would mean hes 1/3 in the Finals without KD 2

So how was he supposed to show you that he got verbally abused at a game? 0

I think Kuz is the player they dont wanna give up cuz hes cheap and is a spark off the bench 2

Move up in draft, Get Future PG. thats about it tbh 5

Garland seems legit, Hunter is a perfect wing for modern era, and Culver if he shoots better is prob the best prospect as a guard in this draft 2

The Bulls have been shopping that pick for a young star 0

Lakers basically have extreme leverage. Pelicans will be forced to take a shittier deal if they dont accept Lakers 1

Its Nephew Season 2

Last 4 times Ive got it following all the rules and being the top thread w most comments but mods keep giving it to others. Im not counting on it anymore 2

Kevin Durant is the Ronaldo to Lebron Messi, hes arguably one of the greatest scorers to exist, and he has single-handedly won games on his own with insane and absurd scoring. It will send shockwaves because teams were gearing up to max him out and for hi 12

Lakers must be close to the trade then. 5

Tf is AD doing at 8? Wtf Id argue hes better than Giannis -1

AD is a top 5 player ahead of Giannis, dude sat out a bunch this year so people arent acting like hes the most complete 2 way Big in the game? -1

Uhhhh Pelicans can just settle for some shit deal or let AD walk for anything. Lakers will just pursue FAs 1

DLO isnt under contract 1

I only have been there twice but I imagine a lot of Lakers fans were there, sorry if they bothered yall 1

I have been staying their potential and shit since day 1. Like ima lowkey root for Pelicans cuz those are some of my fav young players 1

You smoking that good shit? We will most likely re sign Rondo, Lance, Javale for the bench along with Kuzma: we sign a decent starting PG like Hill or Colluson, resign Bullock to MLE, and add another cheap 2 way player like Rudy Gay: Collision Bulloc 0

What tf are you on? Like do you actually watch basketball or just have your head up your ass 0

Well thats more of a Steph, Klay, Dray, KD were better than anyone on the Pelicans barring AD... 2

Why is everyone getting gilded, how may I join? 5

Yeah? 4

Theyd never win a ring together, cant see it 5

And second round exit 0

Thats kinda how the draft works...peoples who game excelled in college and displayed skills and the ability to have huge potential get drafted accordingly 2

Ban this man 1

no it has cuz our fans are dicks. also this post is evidence. 9

Alright listen here: They can finish the deal on the 6th and still have 32.5 million available, Rob signed Jemerio Jones to a non granted contract for this purpose.They can sign a FA to the 32.5 and still take AD because of the trade exception 5

Also instead od posting this every single time in a new thread, theres a cap space thread. 2

Alright listen here: They can finish the deal on the 6th and still have 32.5 million available, Rob signed Jemerio Jones to a non granted contract for this purpose.They can sign a FA to the 32.5 and still take AD because of the trade exception, also even 2

Imagine being such a stan you think Jokic is better than Lebron. **NEPHEW SEASON PEAK** 2

Ban 15

What if Hakeem had taught Dwight his moves and Howard actually used them to his potential 5

Fuck yes it is. Harden is locked up for a long ass time and their best option to get anywhere 1

Read the post, OP forgot about the second one and I found it appalling 1

Bruh 1

Harden is jacked af. Anyone who thinks he has moobs are just morons 3

You also get to dump the bad contract of Hill. It was just a idea man 1

Mods ban this dude 1

Zion is around 6"5 not in bball shoes... 1

You smoking? 1

People dont hate him, they hate the way he plays because we all know he can be so effective and hes shown that ability to take smart shots and get his teams wins... 1

Ban 3

When Lakers dont do anything; idiots When Lakers make good moves to make their team better: wtf are you doing 6

What the warriors did with Kerr when he first came, surround Vogel with good minds, Kidd might have been a bad coach but he is a great player coach which is necessary, Lionel Hollins is a great assistant coach who has made every team he has gone to better 6

Who hurt you 1

Ahaha fuck that: - Magic - Kobe - MJ - Lebron - Hakeem 1

Because; Combination of KD leaving, bad players surround PG + WB, coaching staff makes weird decisions, and Carmelo Anthony 0

Fucking idiot. Hes only like 23 or something, how would we know he peaked 4

Go ask the other 10000 threads about this 2

Those are memes 5

Jason Kidd, and Grant Hill both won the award in 1995. Steve Francis and Elton Brand both won the award in 2000 1

Camby was on the Nuggets in 2002-2003 -1

The Rookie of the Year award isnt about who will be better, its about the best Rookie that year 2

Ban 0

Bruh r/NBA is turning into Twitter 2

This is why God died 1

Kidd, Nash, Stockton, Oscar, West, wtf you smokin 1

Why is this gilded. 0

Man you needa stop spamming that word, it wont be a thing 4

More like 10/12 1

Its been happening 3

Wtf did I just read 1

Holy fuck 50 wins? Are you dumb 2

We have unlimited Vet Mins, and BAE. We could easily bring back Rondo, Mcgee, Lance, and Bullock (who is 90% re signing) if we were that needy. 1

I love this man. 1

Not really? Just wanted to help clear up the noise. Never said this means he is granted to go to LA, just that Dennis is having a separate meeting 6

Saved. 1

We were +500 yesterday 5

Every team has this 2

Common sense 1

Are you sure? Theres quite a few people who have lost everything due to oh I dont know...allegations of rape or abuse? Cough Kevin Spacey, Weinstein etc Cough 5

Worse than Warriors situation 2

Ban. Wtf 5

WNBA would whoop everyones ass, unless you are a good college player in NCAA, you arent getting drafted 2

Lakers? Who tf do I trade away 1

Be wise it was a different type of basketball than todays world. 1

Leonard 1

Holy fuck why do yall stalk these guys so hard. 41

Do you even know why you wrote this? This just sounds like a bunch of incoherent thoughts 2

Its fucking Kevin Motherfucking Durant 1

Cool 11

Why 1

35% Cap 5

Somewhere competitive? Do you think 3 top 5 players in one team could be competitive 0

More salt than the ocean 1

KD good = Kyrie and KD very good 1

Yooo Knicks Fans, hows that Kyrie/KD duo 1

Theres so many good role players available still... 1

Bucks, Pacers, Celtics, Nets, Sixers, Heat (depending on how FA plays out), and Magic are all solid teams.. East isnt as bad as it once was especially w exciting young teams like Bulls I think yall are still entertaining af 8

Only if Giannis goes to join him 1

Imagine making me a post just to try and trigger people cuz you are insecure about your best player...just saying, this whole bs going on between our fan bases is so pointless 1

If he was so dead set on Raptors, he knows what yall have, and what you guys can offer..why hasnt he re signed? 3

Its about to be announced. Also RDA hasnt been wrong, soooo -1

Bruh he got doxxed, this isnt even a joke anymore 3

AD doesnt have a ring, so him 2

Yall went from top 2 player to Dlo 7

Are you Kawhi Leonard? Whats the point of this post. 8

Hakeem 14

Turn on notifications for Woj, make it into "every tweet",or some other twitter account like Shams or something 3

Reddit will break as is tradition 15

This is why we F5 1

Kawhi Leonard, no one even knows anything about him 1

This cant even be announced until the 6th 2

Klay Thompson 1

Holy fuck. Delete 6

I mean you still have to be a wanted franchise, Kawhi wanted to be a Laker before Lebron was even here, and AD straight up wants to be a Laker, and Lebron wanted to be here too. 1

Holy mother of lord you put Lebron behind Curry? 2

You been under a rock? 15

My man hes on OKC 6

Why should we care? 1

Klay isnt top 10, and I doubt he plays 30+ minutes rehabbing that ACL 2

I see Boogie starting later in the season. Also we could easily run a Rondo/KCP/Green/Bron/AD lineup which is a major defensive plus 4

Players 1

JaMychal Green is another perfect piece 1

Top 4 wtf 1

Thanks Kawhi 10

AD never said he wouldnt play 7

You posted this on r/Lakers just move on, youre wrong 9

Aight KD get off Reddit 7

Yes after 2 whole SL games, RJ Barrett should be declared as a bust. Fucking bimbo 2

Why tf would the Bulls do that 2

Why tf does it matter 2

Tryhard 7

Thats not our starting lineup. Wtf, also Zubac guarding AD? Sign me up 3

Fuck no 1

Its the Knicks, Ill explain later 0

Bruh you crying for a fake imaginary point system? 2

Why is this in r/NBA, not gay enough 1

Fucking wtf. This sub never fails to surprises me how stupid this subreddit is 1

Warriors have no bench like at all, and Im sorry but Curry isnt built to handle Harden minutes. Those Ankles arent getting any better -1

Dont do us like that. At least injuries are the reason we didnt get playoffs, Knicks are just Knicks 4

Youre special too...just not in the way you wanted son. 4

Honestly your takes are so trash. How do you even think of this shit 2

It was missing Brian Cardinal aka the "Janitor" aka the reason the Mavs had any rings 1

1 year 5 million? Michael Jeffrey Jordan would def do this 1

Why 6

God fucking dammit. Take my upvote 1

Lakers are ready to make this sacrifice 6

Whatd you post? 1

Klay Thompson is a controversial to me. Hes a limited player, I feel Max only belongs to top 10-15 players 5

Are Knicks fans like sadistic or something, yall really always tryna get hurt 1

KD leaving, and then Lebron opening the east 1

7/24 isnt Kobe day baby boo 3

I am amazed someone even remembers me on Reddit tbh 1

Ive already done this bud. How is this OC, check my profile to confirm 1

I dont care he did it, I was curious how is this OC ahah 1

Ahh its cool man I was messing around, its r/NBA unless its over the top its usually not even original anyways so I prob did something already done 2

Im not reddit police man. Do whatever ya wanna do 2

Literally these questions get dumb and dumber 1

** FANTASY GOD ** 6

Russ has been keeping them alive while Hardens slumping man 11

Damn I just was notified. Ima remake the post 2

Damn that’s even better. ESPN and Basketball reference only had it at 5 so I had that 2

Indubitably. 2

It’s not that serious man..why so mad 3

Offseason and nephew season is over buddy. 1

Hasn’t his dong been on live national TV before? 2

Just believe bro you got this 3

According to this sub and the lakers sub we should’ve traded him at least 5 times this year alone and he’s not even good enough to be a bench player Lemme remind you that r/nba thinks it’s better than the GMs and head coaches who live, breathe, and 1

The Thunder, why would they take that deal? 3

34 mpg this year ** 2

Restricted Contract Year 5

The question isn’t the max, it’s more if the Pelicans are the team that will do it 1

You should revisit his threads, at one point he was Travis Outlaw 3

Harden is from Lakewood California my dude, and he went to ASU 1

Beard man bad Literally every superstar get free throws, I don’t see y’all posting when Kawhi or Embiid take like 12 free throws 4

He’s been sick recently, and he had a torso thing going on so that explains the lift, because earlier in season he was booming 4

Good first half, but he was a no show in the second half. 4 points..and also it was a loss. Him being such a coward from shooting really is showing up now more than ever without Butler or Embiid to carry the Sixers to wins 1

If mods delete this, it’s time to riot and overthrow them 3

Nephew hours have been activated 1

He’s a top 10 offensive player of all time, but overall he’d be around 20-30 range 6

He’s a above average defender when he tries, but he has too much of a workload to validate him abusing his body like that..also being a top 10 offensive talent is no joke...I don’t know why you don’t like that 5

Dope. 1

Jazz always turn it up around this time. I think they are just flat out grooving right now 8

This is r/nba’s wet dream 4

Games not over bud 1

Yo heads up, generator had wrong numbers for some players, ima recheck using ESPN and insert correct one. Sorry about that 1

r/NBA and misleading posts? No never. This can’t be true coming from the same group that told me Lebron gave Love depression. 24

Sorry the post is being edited and fixed. One second 2

Jfc can someone get Tillman away from the Rockets. He’s somehow made what was the second best team in the league in 2018, took that...cheaped out on Ariza, has turned MDA against him, and is now gonna cheap out the only good big he has 14

Do the posters get dumber 1

Cool, who asked? 3

Everyone and they momma knew that Beal was gonna drain the dagger 1

Some people just wanna be victims so bad 1

Why do you post so much 15

Cuz your dick is too small to really comment on 3

Because they and (he) put insane expectations out of a 3rd year player who’s at best a lou will type bench spark 2

KD didnt have a good run at all during the last 3 games against Warriors. Dude played like shit and no one called him out as much because Westbrook is the easy guy to blame. I think he went an absurd 32-81 or something the last 3 games and it was absolute 5

RIP 1

Lmao people think 50/50 splits mean 50/50. With good lawyers and a good case you can easily bump that down. 3

Rules don’t apply if you have enough money to find the loopholes 2

Drinking game: drink a shot for every time you see “recall” 1

“Point god” I don’t think you know what a point god is tbh. Chris Paul got that label after years of being the most consistent all around PG who had no real flaw in his game 20

His defense? 3

Steph Curry isn’t a Point God, he’s the best shooter in modern NBA history but his playmaking and defense are lacking 1

Baby Giannis is prob already dunking 1

It’s exactly how you think it’d be in a barbershop type environment. Some questions, a lot of fucking around and just a chill atmosphere 3

100% 2

This. There isn’t always a hero or villain..both made mistakes and moved on 4

Patrick Patterson the same dude who also called black women “bulldogs”, dudes not the sharpest tool in the shed 1

They knew what they were getting into 2

AD: “I hate the JD and Straight Shots” *1 hour later* **Woj: Anthony Davis has been bought out by the New York Knicks, and has his sights set on the Lakers. Sources tell ESPN** 6

Oh god fucking dammit 2

It Knicks put out a solid team that even was competitive AD would have most likely stayed tbh. 2

Supposed to say Shams* 2

Supposed to say Shams. He was on the podcast 2

He’s a solid defender, when they made playoffs he showed that. He clearly couldn’t care less 11

YOOOO. Fuck that, Spike is NYC 268

JVG is the man for clapping back at him. Ridiculous statement after ridiculous statement. JVG is hated around here but I love his rants especially when he claps back against the NBA and the refs. Holding them accountable, especially when he points out h 10

Don’t worry Mike Dan Tony Will now play them all 48 minutes in local leagues 6

Ew stop 5

“Fuck them kids” Don 2

Thank you. 2

I remember when shitposts were original 1

r/NBA is gonna peak and then have shit content for like the rest 28 days 2

Mods take care of this man 2

I have no idea what’s happening but this seems more effort than the other trash 2

This what 1

This dude tryna act like a old timer LMAO, imagine advocating for hurting players just because you dont wanna see "soft fouls" 1

Doubting Lebron is stupid alone. Doubting Lebron when he has a player that averages 33/12/3 blocks in playoffs in AD just feels like you’re willing to be stupid 4

now ᴘʟᴀʏɪɴɢ: Who asked (Feat: Nobody) ───────────────── ◄◄⠀▐▐⠀►► 𝟸:𝟷𝟾 / 𝟹:𝟻𝟼⠀───○ 3

YOURE ON r/nba you knew what to expect. 8

We shouldnt compare basketball players on basketball skills? -13

Yeah i cant believe i used basketball skills to actually decide how to decide a player, im stupid -17

I provided stats? Are stats biased for Lakers or what now -2

Anthony Davis fits Lebron better with the Pick n Pop option, as well as the Pick n Roll option. Compared to Giannis not being as reliable of a shooter 2

Anthony Davis would have better statistics if he didn’t have Lebron James on his team. And Anthony Davis has also never had a properly built team around him in NOP, yet he still took them to multiple playoffs where he faced the Warriors. -6

Damn this really changes my perspective. Nah, bad communication and bad defense by both players. 1

The Thunder played really good and Houston had a struggling WB who just came back from injury, you act like the OKC team was a 8 seed when they were a 5 seed for a reason. 1

This is such a laughable take, Anthony Davis had Solomon Hill and Darius Miller as key playoff players in his previous teams. And he had to face the Warriors every year. He’s been a top 4-5 playoff performer this year. Just because Harden is getting 1

If I post every superstars bad games then every single one would look bad. Superstars =/= perfect. 1

Harden is leading the series in 4th quarter points. The Lakers are obviously also game planning and putting more intensity in preventing him from getting any easy looks, if you watched you’d know he’s doubled the second he gets the ball. 1

The rockets are as good as he is. He knows this everyone knows this. If he’s not scoring 35-40 points they don’t win. 3

Let’s ignore the ability that Vogel put in the plan in doubling harden whenever he had the ball, and running the rest of the shooters off the line. MDA hasn’t adjusted at all to that. 1

Don’t assume what’s going on behind the scenes. MDA has shown stubbornness from his PHNX days, Bud has the same issue too. 1

Lebrons somehow the most overrated and underrated player 4

Throne* 1

This isn’t about the Clippers or Nuggets. What sub you think you’re on? 1

2 reasons: They have unlikable players - Marcus Morris, Paul George, Patrick Beverly aren’t fan favorites. They have talked trash when they haven’t done anything. Clippers share the city with Lakers, Laker fans run LA. So when Clippers started talk 7

Huh???? Lakers are known for their second half. The whole meme has been the Second Half Lakers are amazing. Lakers have slow first halfs 13

https://i.imgur.com/ZHiUHGI.jpg 3

Bruh what 13

Bro what 1

Every single all time great has a bad moment. Kobe air balled clutch shots vs Utah. Dirk shot like 20% and blew a series to the 8 seed warriors as a 1 seed. Steve Nash never won a ring. It’s easy to nitpick players, that’s why you have to be objecti 8

Not me, I’m built different. 4

You sound a lil too excited to do that 1

This is the first year he’s a favorite since 2013. He’s only choked one time in 2011. 7

Get help 1

That’s his AAU team...are you this weird? You’re tryna make something out of his AAU team 5

Literally stop making posts on it. You’re giving him more attention 2

Whenever he got onto the court, bodies fell to the wood. 3

Please don’t put r/Lakers associated with this. We don’t accept you 3

Jamal Murray still haunts me 9

Mods can we ban him for being xenophobic? 1

> acts more like a brit than anyone else. Just look at his posture stereotyping is just as bad as racism. There is no particular way a British person SHOULD behave. OG was born in London, therefore he is indeed from UK. 0

Dude aren’t you the one who posted the racist post against OG and British People. Holy shit, please go and do something better 0

They hate us cuz we stay winning. 6 rings in the last 20 years. The teams they root for would be lucky to be in the Finals. -3

We got bashed on so hard after Wayoff P snubbed us. After getting Anthony Davis and Lebron....OKC and LAC can enjoy George Paul 1

Fans are part of a team. No fans and teams won’t exist without the money or support. 0

They deadass fall for it lmao 2

Facts. Mavs are a great team, Luka is the real deal 1

Yeah cool we trash yet still get rings. 1

I’m honestly just bored. 1

There was literally no reason to bring up BLM lmao 3

You do realize Jimmy Butler supports BLM as well? 1

36% from 3. His demise is greatly over exaggerated, not to mention he’s still been a huge positive on defense and is playing through hip issues. 1

That story was fake...not to mention Dwight has talked how it’s personally affected him. But yeah show that class and make jokes about it! 3

Clint Capela?? You know Lamar Odom is in no way a similar player compared to Clint. 6

He’s gonna get a ring if he wants, also we will bring him back next year 3

He’s the second greatest Center ever, Shaq had a few years of dominating but Hakeem from year 1 was a dominating force that was elite. I’d say Hakeems career was better than Shaqs but Shaq had a higher peak. I slide him at 10 1

Kobe not being too 10 is pure ridiculousness. He’s easily above shaq or bird 1

There have been rumbles of him potentially joining in the 2021 FA. 2

He’s just entering his Prime how tf do you think we know how his peak will look like lmao 0

He’s cracked top 50 mmao wtf. He’s a perennial MVP candidate for nearly 5-6 years now and a DPOY candidate for just as long. He’s above Rodman at the very least who’s top 50. 1

Why does what the opinion of people who don’t mean much matter to you so much 1

This post quite literally does not even mention Lebron, or anything about Lebron. MJ is a part of NBA history...not everything to do with him is just a shot at Lebron. 2
